I did Jell-O pudding commercials with Bill Cosby....I was very competitive in gymnastics from three to 15. I was second in the state of New York. I danced for Alvin Ailey...

...have kids and a stable family and maintain the relationships with all the friends I have met here. And contribute positively...I want to spend some part of my life in Asia as a learning experience, and eventually, possibly on the East Coast. I had never been here before Harvard, and I think I like it here a lot. Really, it's family and friendship for me. And having a goal and working towards it. Not necessarily a career goal. It could be a family perspective...
